San Vincenzo al Volturno in the sixth century

Argues that the 6th c. coins, largely from Gothic mints, recovered during the 1980-1986 excavations at San Vincenzo al Volturno require a revision of the interpretation of the later Roman site. The new evidence not only shows that the late Roman settlement outlived the troubles created by the Gothic Wars, but also belonged to a period of some pronounced activity in the upper Volturno valley. ;
